Here’s my career by the numbers. I’m a veteran journalist who has authored four books: George Allen: A Football Life; The Redskins Encyclopedia; the Washington Redskins Football Vault; and Joe Gibbs: An Enduring Legacy. I’ve also written thousands of feature and news articles, showing a flair for telling compelling human interest stories, as well as press releases, background papers and talking points, among other types of journalistic and promotional material.

I’ve also written and voiced scripts for television and radio broadcast, hosted a podcast and have interviewed countless interesting people.
